Do you still have the first album you bought in your collection?

I still have the first record I bought, the Beatles 1962-1966 or Red Album on CD in the lovely 2009 packaging. Mind you, I've had it for all of two years.

Yes I do, look....

Chucked all my vinyl away years ago but kept a few. It's almost 27 years to the day when I bought this.

I feel old

The first album I bought was 27 years ago too. I feel your pain.

Well, my first purchase was an EP. The Flatliners - Cynics EP. My favourite Flatliners song is on it.

Not as old as me! 32 years since I first got my grubby teenage mitts on it, and it changed my life!

First albums I ever bought with someone else's money in 1982.

Because when I first started buying albums with my own money I only bought metal albums these 2 were always left with my parents albums and as far as I know are still there.

I'm going to listen to them now actually.

In 1982 I bought the 45 of Centerfold by J. Geils Band because I was mesmerized by the video I saw on TV. I was 7. I loved everything about that 45. Rage in The Cage (b side) was a pleasant surprise and the pink label was beautiful to me, it was a precious possession. I bought the Freeze Frame cassette soon after and I always hated that artwork. I no longer have either

I'm sure I taped over the cassette (by putting scotch tape over those little notches on the top) with something else from the 80s and the 45 stayed with my dad's record collection. Maybe it's still there but I doubt it.
